After two close morning victories, the CWC Lady Bullpups pulled out to an easy 9-1 victory over Marion in the afternoon title game of the Carmi Invitational at steamy Bradshaw Park on Saturday.

By the time it was over it looked like the girls would welcome an “ice bucket challenge” - especially pitcher Kaley Oliver and catcher Julia Smith who worked every inning together in the heat and humidity.

The morning’s games were a 3-2 win over Harrisburg in the opener and a 4-3 victory over Du Quoin in the second game. The Bullpups defense was key in these games, with some noteworthy plays by Carlee Hart at third base. When asked after the game what was going on over there at third base she said “I’m just playing ball.”
